We have understood (at least partially – if not completely…) how these vikaras are actually blocking us from experiencing bliss, peace and abundance in our lives. We have understood why we are going where we don’t want to go in life and experiencing all that we don’t want in life. For example: pain. So let’s start by understanding how to go towards our goal.

Our way of thinking, doing things, wording our intentions, in fact everything about us has become so mechanical that we no longer do them consciously. The system has taken over these functions long back from us. It has become the operating system of our body, mind and intellect. So, the new way or the right way of thinking and feeling looks so difficult in spite of understanding it and change ourselves and thereby our situations in life. We are to wage a war against self – so pitiful and tiring too!

“आप काँटों से दामन बचाके चलते है,
हमने फूलों से ज़क्म खाए है।"

You talk of others but I’ve been always hurt by my OWN.

You save yourself from thorn but I’ve been hurt by the roses.

My own here means my own desire, body, mind and intellect. Yes. Since, it’s always easy to wage war against the world but against “our people” it’s next to impossible. So, we require few techniques to beat the MIND & EGO in it’s game.
